An overrated cash cow

How has this show been going on for 9 years? It's not good! The show follows Gamwall and his misfit family that always get in trouble. As you can clearly see, it’s a complete copy of The Amazing World Of Gumball. All the kids are spoiled brats who get away with everything ( For example, In one episode, Gamwall’s family goes to a fancy restaurant and he FLUSHES HIS PARENTS CAR KEYS DOWN THE TOILET BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE THE FOOD HE WANTED AND HIS PARENTS DO NOTHING) This show also has low quality animation, terrible jokes, annoying catchphrases, and boring episode plots. Parents should watch out for these types of shows these days. Looking at the counterism this series has produced, keep your kids away from this show.

Incoherent storyline, dull and dreary.

Poorly animated, incoherent storyline, and babbling characters made for this title most disappointing. At one point one of the characters engages in gambling, gaining winnings in a game of rock, paper, scissors.

What's the Story?

At the start of TWO TAILS, Max, a singing cat, and Bob, a fussy beaver, unearth an alien artifact. Soon two sets of aliens come to Earth -- one to retrieve the item and one to collect species for their alien zoo. This attracts the attentions of human UFO hunters who, along with other animals, are abducted by these extraterrestrial visitors. Together, Max and Bob set about a dangerous rescue mission.

Is It Any Good?

Parents say: (2 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

The story is simple to follow but the stilted pace is likely to struggle to hold viewers' attention. There's no escape from the fact that Two Tails' bare-bones plot and poor production values make it feel no weightier or more attractive than an episode of another Russian import, Masha and the Bear. The human characters in particular look unappealing and cold but the furry animals and playful aliens are barely any cuter.

The slapstick humor is rarely clever or funny and the recurring jokes aimed at adults -- a 2001: A Space Odyssey sequence and a play on President Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan -- fall flat. There is some charm to be found during Max and Bob's first encounter, but the movie soon runs out of steam. The dubbed English-language audio track is particularly poor, with uncredited actors phoning in their lines in a lackluster manner.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about the communication used between the characters in Two Tails. When they meet, the animals and aliens have no common language so communicate wordlessly. Try to think of ways to describe things without words and discuss the power of sign language.

  • Talk about how the characters feel a strong bond after their shared experience. How can teamwork help form strong friendships? Can you think of any real-life examples?

  • The animals and aliens all say they will take the story of what happened to them back to their own countries and planets. Discuss how legends are made and what purpose they serve? Can you think of any downsides to legends?
